"We love this Central District place for its jerk fried chicken, mac and cheese, and rum punch. But the sandwiches are a must-order, made with soft French bread that acts as a safety net for juicy pork, crunchy slaw, and hot sauces that don’t skimp on the garlic. With just a few tables inside, this spot is best suited for takeout, or a quick midday meal with coworkers who you might want to see outside of Zoom." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"For something a little different than the typical fried chickens dredged in flour, one might want to check out the mind-blowing birds at this Belltown restaurant from chef Trey Lamont. The famed half-fried chicken here is covered in jerk spices and pairs well with the tropical rum cocktails on the menu." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
"The Central District’s Jerk Shack Kitchen is offering a meal package that feeds 10 people: For $200 you get 50 jerk wings (!), two large orders of mac and cheese, five jerk burritos (!!), and a packet that you can use to make a gallon of lychee lemonade." - Harry Cheadle
"Trey Lamont’s Jerk Shack Kitchen is a restaurant located in Midtown Square, Seattle." - Harry Cheadle
"Jerk Shack, a Caribbean spot that was the only fully Black-owned restaurant in downtown Seattle, is now closed permanently. The restaurant, which opened in 2018, faced several issues including labor shortages, pandemic effects, and a denied grant application. The ultimate barrier to reopening was a short lease term offered by the landlord, leading to its closure." - Harry Cheadle
